Valley Motion Physiotherapy

121 Orchard St., Suite 242, Berwick, NS, B0P 1E0

Patrick graduated with a Master of Science in Physiotherapy (MScPT) from Dalhousie University in 2012 and worked for 11 years at Beaverbank Orthopaedic and Sport Physiotherapy before returning to the Annapolis Valley to open his own clinic. He also worked for 6 years as a part-time lab instructor at Dalhousie University in the Orthopaedic Physiotherapy program, fostering his love for teaching. Returning to the Valley has always been one of Patrick’s goal; he missed the small town life of his youth and wanted this experience for his children. In 2016, Pat received his diploma of Manipulative Physiotherapy through the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT). He has completed courses in Shirley Sahrmann’s Movement System Impairment model, dry needling, acupuncture, vestibular rehabilitation, post-concussion rehabilitation, myofascial mobilization, pain education, taping, and Stuart McGill’s back rehabilitation. Pat also has specialized training in the treatment of runners, ACL post-operative repairs, and CrossFit athletes. Patrick loves working with patients of all ages and thoroughly enjoys the social aspect of his job. Using evidence-based rehabilitation, he tailors each patient’s exercise program to their unique needs, with a focus on functional goals. He strongly believes in the power of patient education and exercise prescription as therapeutic tools, in addition to manual therapy as a supplementary tool to promote the healing progression. Outside of work, Pat is an active and exhausted father of two energetic young children, and loving husband to co-owner Natalie. He continues to live the dream of being the best middle- aged hockey player he can be while rehabilitating his consequential injuries of living life as a weekend warrior.
